I'm so proud of you!

Still on "Stay at home" orders here in NC. This Friday, we hope to enter Phase 2 and more places will open up. This is Week 10 for us and my bangs are not too happy right now :(. My birthday is Saturday so let's hope I can go somewhere "fun" for my birthday but who knows?! And if we can, will I even want to?

I haven't stamped in several days. Our weather has been warming up so I've been outside pulling weeds, laying in the sun and doing more reading.

Cut It Up #200 Shoot for the Stars - Congratulations with stars

For the challenge at Cut It Up this week, it's Shoot for the Stars/Congratulations projects with stars. I made a graduation card for someone who will graduate from high school June 5th. But do to the Coronavirus, his graduation was put on hold until further notice. So now we wait ...

I used this awesome sentiment digital image by DRS Designs. I stamped the stars using Versamark ink onto this rectangle die cardstock by Gina Marie Designs. I applied WOW embossing powder to the stars. The graduation boy and girl die cuts are by Impression Obsession. They are my "go to" for graduation cards every single year. They are great!! 

I can't wait to see what you create this week at Cut It Up. Please don't forget to use a die cut on your project.

Hugs My Friend

It's been a long time since I got out the bubble wrap to make a background for a card but I saw the challenge on Splitcoast and wanted to try it with this cute elephant/monkey set that I love so much.
